'Lam Patent No. 79,691, dated .my 7, 186s.

IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGE AND RIDING-WHIPS. I

'ro ALL wHoM 1T MAY concurrir;4 Y

Be it known that.we,-REUBEN'V. SALLADA and Grenen A. PsAnsornof `the firm of SALLADA 8c Pansen, Y whip-manufacturers, of' Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented and introduced to the trade a. new andimproved Combination in Carriage and Riding-Whips; and we do hereby declar that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference .being had to the accompanying drawings making a part of this specification, in whichy.

Figure l represents the two parts of the whip combined and separated. Figure 2, an enlarged View, showing a portion of the parts and screw-joint. Figure 3, one portion of the carriage-whip converted into a riding-whip, the other portion into a cane. Figure 4 illustrates a jointed whip and sliding ferrule. Y v

The nature of our invention consists in makinca carriave-whi `in two` arts the lower ortion of cane and jthe upper of the ordinary wrapping, so connected as to pack away readi 1y ,ormade convertible into a. ridingwhip and walking-cane, if desirable.

To enable others skilled in ythe art to make and use our invention, itis only necessary to say that the upper iexible portion B of the .whip is terminated by a screw-end, b, below,while the lower portion A of the whip is terminated above by a socket-screw ferrule, a, by whchscrew and socket the two parts are joined. Byfsupplying a screw-joint, c, anda socket-head, D, the lower portionca'n be converted into-a walking-cane, and the upper portion into ariding-whip, as shown by fig. 3. This poiutand. soclzebhead C D being of Vthe ordinary kind, present no novelty in themselves, any more so than the screw and screw-socket ends of' the parts of the whip A B. y Y

The novelty consists in the production of `a new styleof whip to the trade as a new article of manufaeture. We donot consider it a mere analogous use ofia. ferrule and screw-joint or connection, but as producing a result in the production of whips which is new, and'not heretofore introduced to ther trade, forming a new combination or arrangement of the several parts. v y f This will apply equally well to a whip with a jointed hinge and sliding ferrule, as shown by iig. 4,to allow a whip, however long, to be folded up for transportation and other purposes; In-short, we claim having invented a new fabric of mcrehantable value, as a new and useful article of a whip, so that one carriage-whip is converti-V ble into a neat riding-whip, and, if need be, into a neat walking-cane. `It is this combination, together with the facility of transportation, or replacing a. broken portion by'a newjoint, so las to produce a. new whip,whicl1 gives said'whip new properties as a useful article of commerce or manufacture, which we deem patentable, Y

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The construction and combination of a carriage-whip, whenmade and arranged Vin the manner and for the Purpose specified, as a new article of manufacture. A V
